Abstract

       Mukha ( mouth or oral cavity) is one of the important parts of our body. The digestive system starts from mukha so it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene for our overall health status. Mukhapaka is a commonest disease of oral mucosa found in India as well as all over the world. Mukhapaka can be correlated with stomatitis or mouth ulcers as per modern science. Oral ulceration is encountered frequently in our daily practice. Stomatitis is curable & not considered a threat to life but these ulcers have a significant negative impact on oral health, affecting the quality of life. It also affects normal activities like eating & swallowing. Sometimes brushing & talking also becomes painful. In Ayurveda  various treatment modalities are described for mukhapaka. I have selected one of them to establish the efficacy of Gandush on mukhapaka in my present case study.
